I can't seem to get the Mean-mETL objective to select anything other than<br>
the Min mETL portfolio using ROI. It looks like there should be good<br>
convexity, but I think there's a substantial imbalance between the size of<br>
the monthly mean return and the loss indicated by the ETL. I've tried<br>
modifying the multiplier on the mean, but it doesn't seem to have an<br>
effect.<br>
<br>
Any thoughts?<br>
